A literature review of harvesting operations and their implication on soil compaction and yield in sugar cane : Final report PR02012
(BSES, 2002)
A significant effort has been applied to the investigation of soil compaction in the
sugar cane industry. Most recently research performed by Dr Mike Braunack at Tully
in the wet tropics of Queensland, Australia, has ...
Sustaining un-burnt production systems in cool wet environments : SRDC Final report BSS168
(2002)
This project was initiated because the Green Cane Trash Blanket (GCTB) system had been rapidly adopted within tropical districts of the Queensland sugar industry between 1984 and 1990, yet there was minimal adoption in the ...
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)
The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ...
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
(2001)
The goal of this project was the development of a prototype lightweight harvester elevator and integrated secondary cleaning system. The goal was commercially driven and proposed transfer and adaptation of high-speed ...
Controlled traffic farming systems for the North Coast Grower Group : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2008)
The project aim was to implement and trial farming systems that incorporate the practices of controlled traffic, minimum tillage and crop rotations. The North Coast Grower Group members combined their resources and efforts ...
A participatory approach to improving furrow irrigation efficiency : SRDC Final report BSS206
(2002)
A combination of low water use efficiencies on a significant proportion of furrow-irrigated farms, and a serious decline in water availability for a majority of farms, gave strong impetus to improving application efficiencies ...
Raising awareness and adoption of sustainable cane growing practices : SRDC Final report BSS238
(2002)
This project aimed to raise awareness and adoption of sustainable canegrowing practices in the Queensland and New South Wales sugar industries by providing canegrowers with the capacity to critically assess their farming ...
Best management practice for sugarcane varieties : SRDC Final report BSS 234
(2002)
This has been both a challenging and rewarding project within the northern sugar industry. Increasing economic pressure in the wet tropics has seen a need to develop and adopt better short- and long-term strategies to ...
Implementation of controlled traffic farming of sugarcane in the Herbert River district : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report GGP003
(SRDC, 2007)
The Pinnacle Precision Farming (PPF) Group was formed with the goal of implementing and
benefiting from the principals of controlled traffic farming using techniques being used by the
Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture ...
Facilitate the accessibility of productivity data by sugarcane farm managers through the SUGARSCAPE productivity software application : SRDC Final report BSS248
(2001)
Utilising previous research outcomes, a utility was added to the SUGARSCAPE software application to export productivity data and farm map data to common file types. The purpose of this export utility was to provide a ...
